Observations of transients and pulsars with LOFAR international stations and the ARTEMIS backend

ArXiv 1210.4318 (2012)

Authors:

Maciej Serylak, Aris Karastergiou, Chris Williams, Wesley Armour, Michael Giles, the LOFAR Pulsar Working Group

Abstract:

The LOw Frequency ARray - LOFAR - is a new radio interferometer designed with emphasis on flexible digital hardware instead of mechanical solutions. The array elements, so-called stations, are located in the Netherlands and in neighbouring countries. The design of LOFAR allows independent use of its international stations, which, coupled with a dedicated backend, makes them very powerful telescopes in their own right. This backend is called the Advanced Radio Transient Event Monitor and Identification System (ARTEMIS). It is a combined software/hardware solution for both targeted observations and real-time searches for millisecond radio transients which uses Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) technology to remove interstellar dispersion and detect millisecond radio bursts from astronomical sources in real-time.
